[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 34821"] Hello all, great topic! I attended 1 of the Beef ID Academy sessions at KSU last month. They have a list of 25 companies in a chart for people to check out prices ect. The chart can be found on [url=http://www.beefstockerusa.org/]http://www.beefstockerusa.org/[/url] .There is a link to the survey. You may not have to do all cattle individually eithor, if the herd has always been the same and you dont add new cattle to it you may ID them as a lot when selling them. If you add 3 cows, you change the herd so therefore they would all have to be tagged. You will also be given an owner ID for your pastures/ lots.
